GOOD NEWS:

MOVES TO IMPOSE BEAUTY CONTEST and INSULTS TO THE PROPHET, pbuh, ON THAT GREAT

NATION.
Remember, dear readers, SHARIA is the demand of the NIGERIAN masses. No
amount of propaganda against SHARIA will work. ADULTERY and AIDS must be
stopped. Stones to the adulterer/adulteress, lashes to the fornicator,
even
though the Europeans act shocked. AIDS must be stopped. AIDS has been
used to decimate much of eastern
Africa.

Chicago Calling
My encounter with Benjamin Netenyahu. Will America ever learn?
by Ather Masood
(Second in a series from a human rights activist, our rep in Chicagoland.)
On Thusday, November 21, 2002 the Associated press reported how $10
billion dollars going to
Israel.
This is in addition to $2.9 billion in loans and
direct grants. The report goes on to say "There is no cost to the U.S. if
Israel repays, since Israel never defaults a loan." ("Israel Eyes Up to
$10B in U.S." Aid By Dan Perry Associated Press.)
The rationale for this increase is that Israel economy been shattered by the
terrorist attacks and a possbile war with
Iraq.
Indeeed President
Bush
goes on to say:
"Terror has affected the Israeli economy. We've got great confidence in
the Israeli economy, because we've got great confidence in the Israeli
people,"
Bush told reporters at the time. "I'm convinced that the economy will be
strong.'' (Perry, Associated Press)Mr. Bush however, makes no comment
about loans and grants going to Israel.
The truth of the matter is that back in March, Benjamin Netenyahu came to
D.C. and asked for more money. Back in March a large pro-Israeli rally
was held in D.C. During the rally Mr. Netenyahu spoke about the need for
increase aid to Israel. He made it abundantly clear that Congress would
support his request. Now we are seeing these requests being fulfilled.
Back in March I attended a private gathering of distinguished guests in the
Washingotn D.C. area. Mr. Netenyahu was also one of the people who was
asked
to make a brief speech. For about 20 minutes Mr. Netenyahu talked about
how bad
Palestinians
are and how good Israelis were. Among the guests were
several "Arab and Muslim." leaders who kept clapping to anything and
everything. The mere sight of this was quite shocking to me.
After the discussion I got the chance to speak with Mr. Netneyahu. Our
conversasion went something like this:
Ather: Good evening Mr. Netenyahu your comments greatly interested me.
Mr. Netenyahu: Thank you very much. It's important to speak out against
terrorism. I believe America, Israel, and India will be great partners
on the war against Terrorism world-wide.
Ather: And what type of Terrorism are you speaking of? You mean what
the IDF are doing everyday in Falasteen?
Mr. Netenyahu: (Startled look) Excuse me? I beg your pardon but the IDF
is defending the lives of innocent Israeli citizens.
Ather: I challenge you right here and right now to a debate over Israel
and Falasteen. I am not a diplomat but an ordinary American citizen who
questions your policies with Palestinian People.
Mr. Netneyahu: (Benevolent looking smile) These matters are very
complex. You
would not be able to understand what we face in Israel everyday.
Ather: What are you afraid of? I have no friends in this room. They are
all your people. If you have a legitimate concern prove it to me, in front
of all your friends. Come on let's do it. Right here, right now.
Other person Present: Yes why don't you debate Ather? Prove your point.
There are no media representatives here. You have nothing to worry about.
Mr. Netenyahu's bodyguard (very angry at me) It's time for us to leave.
You are being very abusive to the former prime minister. It's time for you
to leave.
Ather: Excuse you, I am not going anywhere bub. As an American citizen
I have a right to question Mr. Netneyahu. You are using my taxes to kill
people.
Mr. Netenyahu's second bodyguard: I think it's time for us to move on.
Move the f... out of the way. (Being shoved as Mr. Netenyahu moves away as
far as possible.)
Ather: If you put your hand on me i'm going to smack your face.
Unidentified individual: Okay Okay let's take it easy. (both parties
being
separated) Mr. Netenyahu is our guest and let us all play by the rules.
With this we were both asked to move away from each other. Several people
approached Mr. Ntenyahu to ask him further questions.
---------------------------------
WHAT CAN AMERICA DO WITH $10 BILLION DOLLARS?
1. America has yet to pay African-Americans for four-hundred and fourty
one years of slavery. Why are wet not using this money to begin addressing
this matter?
2. Legal immigrants have yet to be given amnesty and general healthcare in
thie country. The number of "slave" or "cheap" labor is so much and yet
we use not money to address such problems.
3. Spain just created one the largets ecological disasters off its coast.
Thousands of gallons of crude oil has spoiled the fishing and seafaring
industry between Spain and Morocco. Why is the world ignoring a
catastrophe
effecting humans, animals, and the environment? Why can we not use this
$10 billion to clean up this mess?
4. Why can we not use $10 billion to further dialouge between nations,
instead of killing people in Falasteen? Or for that matter anywhere else?
American foreign policy continues to support tyrants everywhere. Why?
It is our responsibility to question where taxes are going. To fund nations,
such as Israel, violates any call for rational thinking by Congress. IT
IS NOT RATIONAL to fund Israel when Amercia still has plenty of problems
to deal with in it's own backyard.

Jihad Until World Is Rid of Injustice: Hafiz Saeed
[Inner Working of Musharref and Bush collusion uncovered.]
Nov 22, 2002
Source: NNI
Jamaat-ud-Dawah Amir Prof Hafiz Muhammad Saeed on Wednesday said Musharraf
government had made a blunder by changing policies on Jihad and Kashmir
under the US and Indian pressure. Addressing a press conference
following
his release from six-month detention under secret agencies, he said
this shift of policy not only reflected the weakness of faith and morality
on the part of the government but had also damaged the freedom movement in
Kashmir.
Flanked by Jamaat ud Dawah information secretary Yahya Mujahid among
others,
Hafiz Saeed said jihad would continue and his party would extend
unflinching
support to jihad in Kashmir and everywhere in the world until the world
is rid of injustice. He said his was not such a cowardly party as to bow
down before the US pressure for halting support to jihad. "For us jihad is
sacred
like praying and fasting that cannot be forsaken under any condition,"
he added.
He said "cross-border terrorism" was a term coined by India to befool the
world, notwithstanding there was no border between the zones of Azad
and held Kashmir. "It is just a control line and no world forum or
institution
acknowledges it as border." He said Kashmiris were fighting for their
freedom and no law could stop them from crossing the LoC, because it
was their territory that is under Indian occupation.
To a question he said that while in captivity government agencies
pressurised him to stop supporting and talking of jihad so that India
could
be brought to the negotiating table. He said he told the agencies that
India would never negotiate as was manifest from the 55-year Pak-Indian
history -- though jihad was taken up only 13 years ago.
Hafiz Saeed said the government said it only wanted to extend moral
support
to Kashmir jihad. He added it was not moral support when you only offer
consolations while Indian army killed, maimed and tortured Kashmiris
besides
burning down their properties. "It is sheer immorality," he said. He
said
India blamed ISI and Kashmiri mujahideen for every incident of
violence,
though at home it was facing a number of other separatist movements. He
also criticised Pakistani government for showing cowardice by blaming
mujahideen and Muslim radicals for every incident of terrorism.
Hafiz said he was not released as part of any deal with rulers. He gave
credit to "courageous" LHC judges for his and Dr Amir Aziz's release.
He said he was kept in a camp near Islamabad but senior government
officials
kept lying before the LHC for three months. Then instead of releasing
him they put him under house detention, he added.
Asked if he would support the MMA's demand that President Musharraf quit
army chief office, he said Musharraf must do that if the Constitution
does not provide for a president in military uniform.
US Reacts
The United States Tuesday warned Pakistan it must ensure terror suspects
face justice, after a court in Lahore ordered the release of the
founder of
a hardline Kashmir group blamed for an attack on India's parliament.
"We do
understand that the Pakistani court yesterday ordered the release of
Hafiz
Saeed, the leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba, after determining he was
unlawfully
detained," said State Department deputy spokesman Philip Reeker.
"Pakistani
law-enforcement agencies, just like law enforcement agencies around the
world, must ensure those responsible for terrorist crimes are brought
to justice," said Reeker, without directly criticizing the decision.
"Under the rule of law, this has to take place through due process."
Reeker
stressed Pakistan had emerged as a key ally in the US campaign against
terrorism following the September 11 attacks last year. Hafiz Saeed was
placed under house arrest in Lahore on October 31 after five months in
custody. But the Lahore High Court declared his detention unlawful and
ordered that he be immediately released.
The Punjab government had unsuccessfully pushed for his continued
detention, telling the court Lashkar-i-Taiba was continuing with militant
operations through Jamaat al-Dawaa, its political wing. Lashkar was one of two
militant outfits that New Delhi blamed for a deadly attack on the Indian
parliament in December, which prompted the tense 10-month military standoff
between
India and Pakistan. Lashkar was banned in January along with four other
militant groups as self-appointed President Pervez Musharraf cracked
down on Islamic groups to appease India and United States.
